Preliminary Statement 

The Committee hereby grants this incentive stock option (the “Stock Option”) on
            (the “Grant Date”) pursuant to the NovoCure Limited 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan, and the Sub-Plan For Grantees Subject To Israeli Taxation (the
“Sub-Plan”), as applicable, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Plan”), to purchase the number of Ordinary Shares set forth below to the Participant, as an Israeli Grantee. Except as otherwise
indicated, any capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Plan. By signing and returning this Agreement, the Participant acknowledges having received and read a copy of the Plan and agrees to
comply with it, this Agreement and all applicable laws and regulations, whether of the State of Israel or of the United States or any other State having jurisdiction over the Company and the Participant.  

Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

1. Tax Matters. The Stock Option is intended to qualify as 102(b)(2) Options (as defined in the Sub-plan), in accordance with
Section 102 of the Israeli Tax Ordinance (New Version), 5721-1961, as amended (the “Ordinance”), and the Income Tax Rules (Tax Benefits in Share Issuances to Employees ) 5763-2003. 

2. Grant of Stock Option.  

(a) Subject to the Plan and the terms and conditions set forth herein and therein, the Participant is hereby granted the Stock
Option to purchase from the Company             Ordinary Shares at a price per share of $            (the “Exercise

 (b) Participant hereby:

and exempts the Trustee from any liability in respect of any action or decision duly taken and bona fide executed in relation with the Plan, the Sub-Plan, or any Stock Option or share granted to the Participant hereunder; 

(iv) approves and acknowledges that the Participant is familiar with the provisions of [Section 102(b)(2)] of the Ordinance;

applicable, and 
 (vi) undertakes not to sell or transfer the Stock Option and/or shares issued pursuant to the exercise of

 4. Exercise. 

(a) To the extent that the Stock Option has become vested and exercisable with respect to a number of Ordinary Shares, the
Stock Option may thereafter be exercised by the Participant, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time prior to the expiration of the Stock Option in accordance with the Plan. The Participant may exercise the Stock Option by delivering
to the Company written notice, with a copy to the Trustee, of the number of Ordinary Shares covered by the exercise, together with the aggregate Exercise Price. Payment may be made by: (i) cash, check, bank draft or money order payable to
the order of the Company; (ii) solely to the extent permitted by applicable law, through a procedure whereby the Participant delivers irrevocable instructions to a broker reasonably acceptable to the Company to deliver promptly to the Company
an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price; or (iii) on such other terms and conditions as may be acceptable to the Committee. Upon expiration of the Stock Option, the Stock Option shall be canceled and no longer exercisable. As soon
as practicable after receipt of such notice and payment, such exercised Ordinary Shares will be issued in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Participant, which shall hold such shares for such period as required by under [Section
102(b)(2)] of the Ordinance. For the avoidance of any doubt, the Committee reserves the right to modify the exercise procedures from time to time. 

(b) Unless otherwise directed or permitted by the Committee and subject to applicable law, any tax consequences arising from
the grant or exercise of the Stock Option (or any portion thereof), from the payment for such Ordinary Shares covered thereby, or from any other event or act (of the Company and the Trustee or the Participant) relating to the Stock Option or the
Ordinary Shares issued upon exercise thereof, shall be borne solely by the Participant. The Company and/or the Trustee shall withhold taxes according to the requirements under the Israeli laws, rules, and regulations, including withholding taxes at
source. Furthermore, the Participant agrees to indemnify the Company and/or the Trustee and hold them harmless against and from any and all liability for any such tax or interest or penalty thereon, including without limitation, liabilities relating
to the necessity to withhold, or to have withheld, any such tax from any payment made to the Participant for which the Participant is responsible. The Company and the Trustee may make such provisions and take such steps as it/they may deem necessary
or appropriate for the withholding of all taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to the Stock Option granted under the Plan and the exercise thereof, including, but not limited, to (i) deducting the amount so required to be withheld
from any other amount then or thereafter payable to a Participant, including by deducting any such amount from a Participant’s salary or other amounts payable to the Participant, to the maximum extent permitted under law and/or
(ii) requiring a Participant to pay to the Company the amount so required to be withheld as a condition of the issuance, delivery, distribution or release of any Shares and/or (iii)

  
 3 








 
by causing the exercise and sale of the Stock Option or Ordinary Shares held by or on behalf of the Participant to cover such liability up to the amount required to satisfy minimum statutory
withholding requirements. In addition, the Participant will be required to pay any amount that exceeds the tax to be withheld and transferred to the tax authorities, pursuant to applicable Israeli tax regulations. 

(c) Upon the exercise of the Stock Option, the Participant: 

(i) will be deemed to acknowledge and make such representations and warranties as may be requested by the Company for
compliance with applicable laws and regulations, whether of the State of Israel or of the United States or any other State having jurisdiction over the Company and the Participant, and any issuances of Ordinary Shares by the Company shall be made in
reliance upon the express representations and warranties of the Participant; and 
 (ii) will not sell, transfer or otherwise
dispose of the Ordinary Shares in violation of the Plan (including the Sub-Plan) or this Agreement or dispose of the Ordinary Shares unless and until the Participant has complied with all requirements of this Agreement applicable to the disposition
of the Ordinary Shares. 
 (d) Pursuant to the Plan, in the event the Participant engages in Detrimental Activity prior to
any exercise of the Stock Option, the Stock Option shall thereupon terminate and expire. As a condition of the exercise of the Stock Option, the Participant shall be required to certify in a manner acceptable to the Company (or shall be deemed to
have certified) that the Participant is in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Plan and that the Participant has not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, any Detrimental Activity. In the event the Participant engages in
Detrimental Activity during the one-year period commencing on the date the Stock Option is exercised, the Company shall be entitled to recover from the Participant, at any time within one year after such Detrimental Activity, and the Participant
shall pay over to the Company, the Ordinary Shares received from such exercise, or, if such Ordinary Shares have been transferred, an amount equal to Fair Market Value of such Ordinary Shares on the date of such exercise. 

(e) The restrictions regarding Detrimental Activity are necessary for the protection of the business and goodwill of the
Company and are considered by the Participant to be reasonable for such purposes. Without intending to limit the legal or equitable remedies available in the Plan and in this Agreement, the Participant acknowledges that engaging in Detrimental
Activity will cause the Company material irreparable injury for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the 


  
 4 








 
event of such activity or threat thereof, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to the remedies provided under the Plan, to obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction a temporary
restraining order or a preliminary or permanent injunction restraining the Participant from engaging in Detrimental Activity or such other relief as may be required to specifically enforce any of the covenants in the Plan and this Agreement without
the necessity of posting a bond, and in the case of a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction, without having to prove special damages. 

5. Stock Option Term. The term of the Stock Option shall be until the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date, after which time it
shall expire (the “Expiration Date”), subject to earlier termination in the event of the Participant’s Termination as specified in the Plan and this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon the
Expiration Date, the Stock Option (whether vested or not) shall be immediately forfeited, canceled and terminated for no consideration and no longer shall be exercisable. The Stock Option is subject to termination prior to the Expiration Date to the
extent provided in the Plan or this Agreement. 
 6. Termination and Change in Control. The provisions in the Plan regarding
Termination and Change in Control shall apply to the Stock Option. 
 7. Restriction on Transfer of Stock Option. The
provisions in the Plan and the Sub-Plan regarding restrictions on Transfer shall apply to the Stock Option. 
 8. No Rights as a
Stockholder. The Participant shall not have any rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any Award until the Participant becomes the holder of record of the Ordinary Shares underlying the Award. 

9. Provisions of Plan Control. This Agreement is subject to all the terms, conditions and provisions of the Plan, including the
amendment provisions thereof, and to such rules, regulations and interpretations relating to the Plan as may be adopted by the Committee and as may be in effect from time to time. The Plan and the Sub-Plan are incorporated herein by reference. If
and to the extent that this Agreement conflicts or is inconsistent with the Plan (including the Sub-Plan), the Plan shall control, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be modified accordingly.

unenforceable, or are prohibited by the laws of the jurisdiction where they are to be performed or enforced, by reason of being vague or unreasonable as to duration or geographic scope or scope of the activities restricted, or for any other reason,
